3. Projectile Motion – free fall, but not vertical

4. Free Fall : Used to describe the motion of any object that is moving _____________________________ the only force acting is ________________ no _____________________, which is a good approximation if object moves ____________ motion can be _________________ or in an arc known as a ____________________ the results are independent of ___________ All of the equations of __________________can used as long as you use: a = _______ = ___________________= ____________ = _____________on or near Earth’s surface for the time the object is in ________________. gravity air resistance parabola up or down slowly mass 9.81 m/s 2 down -9.81 m/s 2 -g constant kinematics freely through a vacuum. free fall

If it falls for the same time, what will its final speed be? Which will hit the ground first? same neither

12. Ex. A ball is tossed up with an initial speed of 24 meters per second. How high up will it go? given: unknown: a = -9.81 m/s 2 v i = 24 m/s d= ? equation: v f = 0 vivi vfvf v f 2 = v i 2 + 2 a d What total distance will it travel before it lands? What will be its resultant displacement when it lands? 0 = 24 2 + 2(-9.81)d -576 = -19.6d 29.4 m = d 58.8 m 0. m B. Objects Fired Up or Down.

13. For a ball fired or thrown straight up: going up coming down vivi 1._______ d each second on way up 2.______ d each second on way down 3. t up = _____________ 4. t total = _______ = __________ 5. v top =__________ 6. a top = __________ 7. speed up = _______________ 8.If object falls back to its original height, then: v f =______ t down less more 2t down 2t up -9.81 m/s 2 speed down -v i 0 v = 0 vfvf

14. Ex. Mr. Butchko is fired directly up with an initial speed of 55 meters per second. How long will he be in the air? given: unknown: equation: a = -9.81 m/s 2 v i = 55 m/s t= ? v f = -55 m/s vivi vfvf a = Δv/t a = (v f – v i )/t -9.81 = (-55 – 55)/t t = (-110)/-9.81 t = 11 s How much time did he spend going up? t = 5.5 s

15. Ex. A shot put is thrown straight down from a cliff with an initial speed of 15 m/s. How far must it fall before it reaches a speed of 35 m/s? given: unknown: equation: a = -9.81 m/s 2 v i = -15 m/s d= ? v f = -35 m/s v f 2 = v i 2 + 2 a d (-35) 2 = (-15) 2 + 2(-9.81)d 1225 - 225 = -19.6d -51 m = d 1000 = -19.6d 1000/(-19.6) = d
